TED-Talk blog post

After watching the lecture, I cannot say that I totally agree with the whole idea that schools kill creativity. Sir Ken made mention of the the fact more than once that it were not only the teachers, but the parents who play a part in "killing" the creative sparks that may ignite a child's imagination. I am not saying that all parents or teachers or guilty of this. I think there are circumstances in each case that are unique. I do feel that there should be more creative classes available along with the mainstream of learning which involve the "basics" .....even in the future having knowledge even if not total competence in what the world may be like will be necessary. I do feel by offering creative classes among the general courses offers each student an avenue that may not otherwise be available to them.
